Watermelon Margaritas

These fresh Watermelon Margaritas are one of my favorite ways to celebrate summer. They are easy to make and taste like summer in a glass!

It’s Five Ingredient Friday peeps and what better day to throw together some gorgeous, fresh cocktails like this Watermelon Margarita? It’s hot out, I had a long week and I deserve a treat.

Actually, I had an easy vacation week bopping around Boston with my family. As I write this I am looking at my beautiful view of the Trinity Church in Copley Square. My kids are finally old enough to keep up with us on a long and tiring city vacation. We did not have one kid breakdown during our entire week here. Can you believe that? It was amazing and I am so proud of these little people. We walked their legs off but did they complain, no! In fact, I got tired before they did. So proud.

You will love these fresh, fruity Watermelon Margaritas. Remember they are only as good as your watermelon, so get a ripe one. You should hear a hollow sound when you tap on the outside of it. Also, look for a spot on the bottom where it sat in the field. If it doesn’t have that it was probably picked too early.

You can easily throw all these ingredients into a blender (except the alcohol) and make this super fast, but I prefer to blend the watermelon first, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. This gives you a much cleaner watermelon juice with no pulp. After straining it, I still had some pulp in my drink so it’s hard to remove all of it.

My favorite new cocktail add in is honey simple syrup. It’s so delicious. Just mix equal parts honey and water together in a saucepan and heat until the honey dissolves.

If you want to be extra fancy, make some watermelon ice cubes by pouring some of the juice into ice trays.

Drink up, people. Summer doesn’t last forever so let’s take advantage of that fresh fruit while we can, shall we?

Glad you had a lot of fun on your week vacation!! Boston is such a cool area! I’ve never met a margarita or a watermelon I don’t like, so combining the two into one cool cocktail is PERFECT! These are so pretty.. and I bet they are dangerous too, because who could stop at just one!? More like, I’ll take a pitcher, please. lol. Cheers!!
